Just installed my new P5Q deluxe so am planning on seeing what my e8400 can do. have disabled spread spectrum, c1e, and speedstep, upped fsb to 400 and ram at 1:1, cpu multi to 9x. Vcore is at 1.28 and NB Voltage at 1.18. At the moment it's windows stable but fails LinX on first test. Should I try upping NB or CPU voltage at this stage? Cheers

EDIT: temps are around 45 under load atm
 
went back to defaults (and also with dram at 1.9V) and not stable. RAM passes memtest, but that's the only thing I can think of that could be causing the problem with a whole new mobo and psu. Grrrr
 
Im not 100% sure on OC but I think the issue is running the ram a 1:1.

What happens if you lower the multi to the lowest then upping the ram to 400.
 
Dropped cpu multi to 6x and fsb to 333MHz with 5:6 dram divider = fail. So it isn't the cpu. Will try underclocking ram to see if that makes a difference.
